Ginx eSports TV, the UK and Ireland’s only 24-hour esports channel, launched on Sky in June.

Ginx TV reported gross assets of £0.9m and a pre-tax loss of £0.7m in the year to 31 December.

"We're really excited to have followed up our commercial partnership with Ginx with this investment, which will help us deepen our understanding of eSports and its audience,” said Emma Lloyd, Sky’s group director of business development and strategic partnerships.
